Gershom Is Schocked

Watch a couple lacking joy and easy courtship,
Looking at frustration and the city as a fortress.
They're almost always adversarial
And she is so elusive she is slippery,
Slutty, slatternly, she wants a new dress.

Continually rejecting the man,
And standing him up again and again, he's asking himself,
"Well what can I do, if she might show up I'm not waiting in vain"
She's enigmatic, baffling, an erotic cynic,
Grasping and quarrelsome, unresolved,
Diffident, hostile, cruel and sick.

You can't say the attachment was easy
In fact at first the whole thing made me kinda queasy.
The man is so obsessed with tragedy,
He never learned how to romance a lady!
Gerhardt, you can call me a cynic,
But your buddy here is downright pathetic.
You'll never get this man to Palestine
I'm the queen of Moscow and he is mine.
